The two-headed rushing attack of Quinshon Judkins and TreVeyon Henderson – which helped propel Ohio State to the title – then went just three picks apart in the second round. Judkins went to the Cleveland Browns as the No. 36 overall selection, and Henderson headed to the New England Patriots at No. 38.
With 14 draftees in 2025, Ohio State came one short of the all-time NFL Draft record. Georgia still holds the top spot with 15 players selected in 2022, and the Bulldogs remain one of the most dominant programs during draft weekend after 13 players went off the board this year, just one spot behind Ohio State.
The Bulldogs saw three players go off in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Mykel Williams was the first, heading to the San Francisco 49ers at No. 11 overall, and fellow pass rusher Jalon Walker went shortly thereafter to the Atlanta Falcons at No. 15. Malaki Starks then rounded out the group of UGA first-rounders, going to the Baltimore Ravens as the No. 27 overall pick.
